I Fort Worth can certainly view the field
OF railroad construction in Texas with
equanimity, for no other city in this state
! has three great trunk lines under con-
struction from IFS limits. Not only will
these three be building in October but
construction will be going on on two
more, the Farmersville Fort Worth and
| the Fort Worth Western. With five roads
! building from Fort Worth at the same
time her railroad hea will be partially
/ satisfied, but there are others coming.
The Fort Worth and Rio Grande will
bring considerable quantity of cotton

every bale brought to Grsnbury will come
to Fort Worth ID be compressed
ii for no other reason, but it is more
than likely that Fort Worth buyers will
be Ct Granbury to purchase portion Of
the crop. Granbury will do an immense
business during the coming fall and
winter, and will grow in Importance
from This time en-.
